Chapter 16

"So what have you got?" J'onn had arrived on scene shortly after getting the word from Supergirl on the comms they needed medical assistance and that they'd better hurry. The blonde and her boyfriend realized that the van had been a ruse when their x-ray vision scans showed no signs of Alex or Maggie along the waterfront. Tuning out all the other noises, Kara tried to listen to see if she could hear her sister or her sister's fiancée. Sure enough, she heard Maggie calling for help. Within moments, the Kryptonians landed at the abandoned building and found the two injured women.

"Maggie has a cut above her eye and a broken leg along with extensive bruising and a possible concussion. The zip ties she was tied up with almost cut into her wrists enough to hit an artery. The medics are hoping that the blood flow to her fingers wasn't cut off. The zip tie around her ankle caused blood to pool because it was broken. The medics think she'll need surgery to fix it," Mon-El heaved a sigh.

"And Alex?" The Martian asked, noticing that Kara hadn't left Alex's side as the medics were loading the redhead into the ambulance. Doctor Milo and his team were waiting for the two women back at headquarters.

"She has a broken shoulder, broken ribs, internal injuries, and the same cuts on her wrists and ankles as Maggie. She lost consciousness, so Maggie had to call for help. Once Kara found that she couldn't wake up Alex, she didn't want to move her without medical help; afraid that she'd move something that shouldn't have been moved," he explained.

"What the hell happened? They were just supposed to be interviewing a cop about his box and if he'd heard anything about the missing explosives," J'onn was steaming.

"I have no idea. Maggie wasn't making much sense," Mon-El frowned. He saw the forensics team trying to collect evidence to figure out if they could find who did this.

"Damn," the Martian cursed as he watched the ambulances pull away, Supergirl was still inside, refusing to leave Alex's side. That's when a voice broke into the comms.

"I've got the van that was used in the bank robbery being chased by NCPD. Gunfire has been exchanged. All available Kryptonians and Martians are needed to provide backup," it was Winn. Mon-El looked at J'onn and wondered if the leader of the DEO should be out in the field in the first place. He cringed inwardly, knowing he shouldn't have thought that in case J'onn was reading his mind.

"Go. I'll provide backup from headquarters," he told the former Daxamite before talking to Winn via his earpiece. Mon-El nodded and headed for the sky. He could hear the sirens and he was able to locate the vehicle chase quickly. Flying overhead, he looked for a way to divert the vehicle without causing a multiple car accident. The van was racing toward a big curve in the road and he knew that if they hit that going as fast as they were, a rollover was likely, which could kill not only the occupants but anyone in the vehicle's path.

Mon-El rushed into action, grabbing the van's back bumper and planting his feet into the pavement, he lifted the back tires up off the road. This allowed the police to go around the van and encircle it. Officers jumped out and leveled their guns at the driver.

"Shut off the engine! Now!" One of the officers barked through a bull horn. The driver didn't seem to be listening as he pushed harder on the gas. Mon-El knew that the bumper would give way before his grip would and he used his heat vision to blast out the passenger front tire.

"I say again! Shut the engine off! This is your final warning!" The officer tried again. Now the back tires stopped spinning. Mon-El was about to set the back of the van down when suddenly the front end of the vehicle dropped lower than it should. Glass, plastic, and metal exploded everywhere. He dropped the vehicle and moved around it. There in front of the vehicle, Supergirl lifted herself out of the crater she'd created.

"Exit the vehicle or have Supergirl remove you from it!" The officer at the bull horn took advantage of the situation. Mon-El ripped the back doors open and the occupants gave him a look like they rather run to him instead of the blonde.

"You're not going to want me to come in there and get you," he said. That's when he heard footsteps and NCPD officers arrived next to him.

"We've got them," the Sergeant smiled.

"All yours," Mon-El smiled back. The men inside the van knew they were caught and slowly made their way out of the vehicle. However, the man at the back mouthed to Mon-El, something he didn't quite understand so he stopped him when he was away from the others.

"My name is Sergeant Williams, Army CID," he said.

"I don't care who you are, you kidnapped an NCPD detective and FBI agent," Mon-El said. By now, Kara had worked her way to them.

"I didn't know that was going to happen. I'm undercover. I loosened the gags so they could call for Supergirl," Williams explained. Kara grabbed his shirt and pulled him close. Mon-El wasn't sure what she was going to do to him.

"You had better not be lying to me," she said.

"Honest, I'm not. I can prove my orders from General Lane. We're looking into missing explosives," the Sergeant told them. That's when J'onn's voice came over the comms.

"Bring him to headquarters."
